[wxpython-users] possible to make transparent/invisible button?

I don't know about transparent buttons, but perhaps you could capture
the LEFT_UP events, and compare the coordinates of the click to your own
list of rectangles of interest. Then you can invoke the handler for the
rectangle. It wouldn't be too difficult, and gets you out of trying to
trick wxPython into doing what you want with transparent buttons.

The code you found is C++, BTW.

Hi,

You can hide or show the button if it's sufficient: button.Hide() or
button.Show()

Have you seen the PlateButton from Cody Precord, maybe that would work
for you. It is included with wxPython 2.8.8 (not sure if this is the
first show of it), so you can check it out in the wxPython demo.
